Shout! Complete Sunbow Series Review – Part 3
This one’s pretty late in the game, but the third installment of my review for the Shout! Factory Complete Series boxed set has been posted here! Part four will be bright and early tomorrow morning.
SDCC Coverage Day 1 – Preview Night
I know other sites have some pictures up already, and I’m combing through them and picking out the good stuff, but I’m also expecting some images from JoeBattleLines and The Terror Drome potentially tonight as well. But at this point, this is what we know about what was shown at SDCC (or what was peeked at behind enemy lines… :shifty: )
Wal-Mart Exclusive Battle Stations
- Heatseek Missile w/ Scrap Iron and Neo-Viper
- Surveillance Port w/ MARS Trooper
- Laser Artillery Weapon w/ Hawk and Hit & Run (YES!)
- Outpost Defender w/ Tripwire and Roadblock
no images were found
First impressions – I loved these battle stations as a kid, and they still look pretty cool, and I love that they’re coming with two figures. Resolute Roadblock is GREAT, even if he looks different. Love the QuaidHawk. Please don’t tell me that funky green and silver Tripwire with tiger stripes is supposed to be Hit & Run… :/
Toys “R” Us Exclusive Troop Builder Packs
- G.I. Joe “Desert Set” w/ Dial Tone (female), Law & Order, Zartan, Footloose, and Repeater
- COBRA set w/ Unknown
no images were found
Tough to make out a whole lot here, but I’m loving that Joe set. Repeater and Footloose are both winners (yeah, I know, Footloose needs to be in green camouflage, but these paint apps look GREAT, even if they’re not vintage accurate). Female Dial Tone is awesome to see, too, for those of us willing and able to move on from 1986.
Hopefully more to come!

I’m not dead…just out of the “office” today.
Those who know me know that my wife is approaching 9 months pregnant…well today, I got an unexpected day off, so it was spent prepping the nursery, packing bags, and getting all the last strings tied up. I will be playing catch up throughout the evening, so the news posts will definitely pick up. I’m back at work the rest of the week, so the normal pace should continue.
Thanks for your patience! SDCC is upon us!!
